The November 2019 Issue Of The American Journal Of Public Health (AJPH

/in /by
  1. The November 2019 issue of the American Journal of Public Health (AJPH) had a special section on Financing Health Care in light of the current political discourse. The articles (6 are required readings and 2 are optional) provide different perspectives on the single- and multiple-payer systems proposed by or advocated for by the different political parties and presidential candidates.
    These articles, along with your other readings this week, collectively form the basis of your individual Assignment 6. Feel free to consult with additional resources to support your position. Your 600-800 word essay should include:

    • Introduction
    • Arguments for a single-payer system
    • Arguments against a single-payer system
    • Your well-supported opinion on what the next approach is for health care reform in the United States.
    • References (this week’s textbook and article readings are sufficient, but feel free to add more)
    • Below are few definitions to guide your readings. These definitions are extracted from the Editorial to the special section in the AJPH November issue (p. 1482):
      Single payer refers to a health system that is financed by a single entity; in its common usage, that single entity is government. Government is the payer for services, and such payments are financed by taxes, but there is no implication that government employs the providers or actually owns or operates the health system. There still may be intermediaries between the government as payer and the provider… In its “purest” form, in a single- payer system, health care services are paid for only by the government; in the case of Medicare, beneficiaries also contribute to payments through premiums.
      Multiple payer refers to a health system that is financed through more than a single entity, one of which may include government. Private health insurance companies participate in multiple-payer systems, with financing through individual premiums paid directly by beneficiaries, employers, and, in some cases, government.
      Whether a health care system is single or multiple payer does not in and of itself define the system in terms of coverage. Universal coverage means simply that all people within a particular jurisdiction have health insurance, be it single or multiple payer. Universal coverage requires governmental mandate; however, the form of that mandate may be through either single or multiple payer or a hybrid model.
      Health care in the United States is currently a unique hybrid, multiple-payer system, but with elements of single payer (i.e., Medicare, although beneficiaries also contribute through premiums), publicly subsidized private payers (e.g., employer-sponsored health insurance), socialized medicine (e.g., Department of Veterans Affairs, in which government is both the payer and the employer), and self-pay (i.e., out of pocket).

Wk 2 Assignment: GUI and Input, Output, and Variable [due Mon]

Wk 2 Assignment: GUI and Input, Output, and Variable [due Mon]

Assignment Content

  1. In your position as the leader of a programming team, sometimes you need to take on tasks when the team is overloaded with work. Your team is currently busy, so you are taking on a customer request to create a business application that allows the user to determine an approximate cost for a business trip. The customer will add functionality and features to the application throughout the development process. You will continue to modify this application throughout the remainder of the course.

    Create a Java™ travel authorization request graphical user interface (GUI) application via NetBeans to calculate the cost of a business trip.

    Include the following functionality:

    • Traveler name (text field)
    • Airfare cost (text field)
    • Food cost (text field)
    • Hotel cost (text field)
    • Car cost (text field)
    • Shuttle cost (text field)
    • Summary: Display request total in label (must use a variable to store each item and calculate totals)
    • Button
    • The user will enter the name of the traveler and the cost of each item for a trip request. When the user clicks the calculate button, 10% of the total amount will be added to the trip total and be displayed in the Summary field. The use of variables are required to store the costs of the individual items.

      Submit your assignment as follows the Netbeans project file (export/zip file), cut/paste the source to a MS Word document and a screen shoot of the output. Also, let me know if you are using a Mac or a PC platform./*

Your Practicum and Your Beliefs

Your Practicum and Your Beliefs

Think about your current level of public health knowledge and the work you have been doing in your practicum. Consider the knowledge or beliefs you had about the field of public health, public health concerns, your practicum site, and the population served as you began your practicum experience.

  • How have your beliefs or knowledge been challenged through this practicum?
  • What is one preconception you had about working in the population you are studying or serving in your practicum experience that has changed?
  • How do we challenge preconceptions or reconsider knowledge about public health and the populations we serve? Provide and cite evidence to show that your suggested approach could be impactful.
  • What potential problems do you see with your suggested approach?

What additional information would you need to answer this question more thoroughly?
